Boll Weevils Over Patriots 14-1
The Patriots of Greensboro played host to the Boll Weevils of Huntersville on the afternoon of July 20th. The afternoon sun brought temperatures up to the mid 90’s as the clubs started play with the Boll Weevils only having 7 players and the Patriots 8. Captain Treon of the Boll Weevils won the bat toss and elected to take the field. The tall grass was a big help as the Boll Weevils played without a second baseman. The tall grass proved to be tough on all strikers as only the Boll Weevils were able to tally 2 aces in the first 4 innings. With the heat taking its toll on the Patriots the Boll Weevils took the opportunity and struck the old onion well plating 11 tallies in the next 3 innings. Going into the bottom of the 8th the Boll Weevils added one more and the Patriots avoided the goose egg tally by getting a single ace in the top half of the 9th. The final tally saw the Boll Weevils top the Patriots 14 aces to 1. The clubs plan to meet again on August 23rd at Cannon-Fieldcrest Stadium, the Intimidators field in
